paxter-cli 1.0.37

Paxter

Paxter is a commercial command-line tool for running readable, YAML-described Playwright browser workflows. It captures step screenshots, optional video, and HTML/JSON reports to make browser automation easier to review and operate.

Install

Install the global tool from NuGet.org:

dotnet tool install --global paxter-cli
paxter help

The package is named paxter-cli; the command is paxter.

Get started

1. Create a new working folder, enter it, and initialise Paxter:

   mkdir my-paxter-workflow
   cd my-paxter-workflow
   paxter init
   

   This creates paxter.yaml, workflow.yaml, and safe .gitignore entries without overwriting existing files.

2. Install the supported Chromium browser:

   paxter setup
   

   Paxter uses a Playwright-managed Chromium build by default; Chrome does not need to be installed separately. See the browser configuration guide before setting ChromiumPath.

3. Obtain Paxter registration details from your administrator or Booolean, then update the local paxter.yaml file.

4. Confirm the registration:

   paxter register
   

5. Create a workflow:

   Headless: true
   NeedVideo: false
   Actions:
     - Do: Page_GotoAsync
       Data1: https://your-approved-test-environment.example
   

6. Run it:

   paxter run workflow.yaml
   

Access levels

Registered access requires a verified Paxter registration and permits workflows with up to 10 actions. A larger workflow, parallel execution, and conversion require a current subscription. runparallel also requires parallel settings in paxter.yaml.

Update

dotnet tool update --global paxter-cli

Do not use it against a live production system, third-party system, or any environment where an unintended action could cause harm unless you have explicit written authorisation and have accepted the risk. You are responsible for every workflow and its effects. Keep registration codes, credentials, tokens, browser recordings, and reports out of source control. Reports may contain sensitive test data.

Paxter is provided without warranties.
